eXtremeRate IPS Ready Upgraded Cherry Blossoms Pink Replacement Shell Full Housing Cover Buttons for Gameboy Color – Fit for OSD IPS & Regular IPS & Standard LCD – Console & IPS Screen NOT Included

First thing's first, the finish is absolutely stunning.It is quite hard to pick up the effect on camera as it just seems to come out mainly sparkly blue, but moving it around in your hands you will definitely see it.The design looks thick and durable, with a very nice glossy feel, I don't think it'll be chipping off very easily but I'm still going to be using a clear case to protect it from scratches and general wear.There is one flaw I could find, and it's not a huge deal, but part of the shell is unpainted above the screen bezel, this is only visible from below and wouldn't normally be seen while playing with the console (see photos)The shell went together very easily and securely unlike some of the third party ones from ebay/China.The screen lens included is unfortunately a cheap plastic one which is prone to scratches, I will be investing in a glass lens to give this Gameboy the premium look it deserves!I also opted to use the original buttons and rubber membranes from my old Gameboy Color as the included ones were also quite cheap.Overall this is a great product and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting a Gameboy shell that stands out from the rest, without breaking the bank and getting a custom painted shell from Etsy or other marketplaces.

I bought the plain white version for the soft-touch finish and whilst it does feel lovely and soft and silky my goodness does it mark easily. 2 days I've had it installed and it's already marked and with the finish, it's near impossible to just wipe off. Due to this, I will probably need to source a replacement soon which is a real shameOct 2020I decided to replace the white one above with the chameleon finish one. It looks and feels absolutely lovely, however - I cannot get a glass screen lens to fit in the LCD window. It's way too tight and keep popping back out so now I'm stuck with the ugly plastic one it came with (that had scratches on it by the way) Knocking another star off as this is the second one I've had issues with! Won't be buying another, not for the price!

Does what it says, it fits together well without issue and no gaps unlike some youtube videos out there.The coating for these feels amazing and it's hard to go back to just a regular smooth plastic gameboy after using one of these, a worthy replacement case with all tools included!

This is an excellent shell. It feels almost powdery to the touch, a bit like a Trebor Soft Mint (if that makes sense) and helps with grip.It’s not quite pure-white, it’s more of an off-white, but tbh it makes no difference when put together. It looks gorgeous with all-white buttons and screen.I modded my GBC with an IPS, rechargeable battery and installed a micro USB charging port. The [back] shell had to be cut away to allow space for the 2000mAh battery, but was extremely sturdy and held its shape when I was cutting/filing away at it.Real good purchase, and well impressed.

This has a kinda matt/vinyl feeling to it and it's awesome just to hold. Also one of the best quality shells that I've encountered after doing some mods. This shell just looks really sleek and professional.
